Can't remember the last time I felt this desperate. In a good way.

In a "God HAS to show up and come through for me" kind of way.

Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

I feel like I'm going through a quarter-life crisis 3 years before my quarter life. I have zero idea anything. Hows, Whens, Wheres. I'm finally employed after 5 months which is the first sign of anything solid in months. I'm single, living at home, essentially not even owning my own car...and I'm 23. When I was younger, I most certainly didn't expect 23 to look like this. But you know what's incredible? My closest girlfriends are all in the exact same situation (though they are still in school)...so everyday I realize I'm not alone. And everyday the Lord is showing up in really crazy and insane ways. So...no, I don't have an answer. I don't have anything to show for the last couple of months (at least that I can see)

And with the passing days, Psalm 23 is getting me by. What an incredible passage of Scripture. Read and study it today. Make it personal for your life.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
